This unique Azalea offers big, bright white blossoms strongly curled petals and light yellow centers. The look is fantastically whimsical, but of course, the best part about this Bloom-s-Thon® is that it self-deadheads, keeping the blooms coming for months on end with no need for your assistance!

Part of the Proven Winners® ColorChoice® line of flowering shrubs, this lovely cultivar was chosen for its combination of unusual color and proven garden performance. It has been tested in trial gardens all over the world and given top marks for health, vigor, and beauty!

Azalea are especially popular in the South thanks to their fantastic heat tolerance and their ability to bloom in warm weather, and their beauty can also be enjoyed up to Zone 6. Plant Bloom-a-Thon® White in slightly loamy soil that is on the alkaline side of the pH scale. Cannot ship to WA. Zones 7-9.

Azaleas and Rhododendrons have been interbred since the first plants were scooped out of the dirt, and for a while these "crossbreeds" were even referred to by some ghastly name — Azaleodendrons or the like.
The old rule of thumb used to be that Azaleas are deciduous and Rhododendrons evergreen, but if that was ever true, it isn't anymore.
The differences between the two are slight, so slight in fact that botanists do not break them into the two groups that gardeners have come to know. Rhododendrons have 10 stamens per flower, while Azaleas have only five. While both can be deciduous, that trait is typically seen more in Azaleas than Rhododendrons. The shape of the leaves is often another indicator, with larger, paddle-shaped leaves typical of Rhododendrons, Azaleas often have smaller, elliptical leaves and trumpet, or tubular-shaped flowers at the ends of the shoots.

A Tradition of Distinction

Since its founding in 1920, Wayside Gardens has brought the rarest and highest-quality plants to the garden market. Wayside was founded in 1920 by two acclaimed growers who came together to pursue their shared vision of marketing all high-end plants for the serious garden enthusiast. Originally located in Mentor, Ohio, Wayside Gardens swiftly grew a reputation for the highest-quality plants and the most sophisticated clientele. In 1975, Wayside was purchased by the Park Seed Company, and moved to Hodges, SC. The company has flourished since then, growing to become an undisputed leader in rare and unique plant growing.

Unparalleled Selection

Wayside's horticulturists travel the world in search of new and unusual plant cultivars and proudly offer the garden industry’s most sophisticated selection of high quality and rare perennial plants, bulbs, trees, shrubs, roses, vines, and indoor plants. Beginning with ties to the Dutch family bulb business in Holland, our horticulturists have developed close relationships with perennial and bulb growers throughout the United States and Europe, providing access to many rare and unique garden treasures. Throughout our history we have had the pleasure of introducing numerous exotic foreign and domestic plant cultivars to the American garden market. The Wayside collection of new and exclusive plant products is so preeminent that the catalog has long been lauded in the industry and is even used as a reference work in horticultural schools.

Impeccable Quality and Value – We Guarantee It!

At Wayside Gardens, “pedigreed plants” and “root strength” have always been watchwords. The Wayside Gardens impeccable plant quality begins with selecting only the finest new product offerings with improved plant features and numerous advantages for our gardening customers. These improved plant selections are then grown to our exacting quality standards by garden industry professionals. This produces superior plants with well developed root systems and healthy, vigorous plant growth habits. That is why we proudly guarantee all Wayside Gardens' products to perform as advertised, being of superior quality, true to type, and shipped properly.

Larger Containers & Well Established Root Systems

We use larger containers and grow bigger plants than other nurseries, leading to greater root strength. Where appropriate, Wayside Gardens propagates our plants vegetatively rather than from seed, to ensure the plants possess the correct form and are true to variety, like a true double form, as opposed to the single or semi-double forms that may result from seed propagation. Because we employ only the finest and most technologically advanced plant growing methods, you can be confident in receiving healthy plants ready to burst forth in glorious growth in your garden.

Wayside Gardens always has a great selection of plants, and lots of great new introductions each year. Their website/catalog provides great information about their plants. I have been shopping with Wayside for the 30+ years I have owned my house. I am really looking forward to adding these plants to my garden.

It's nice to have such a wonderful selection. Many of the items carried here are not available at any of our local nurseries. It's fun to have people visit and see plants in my garden that they haven't seen anywhere else.

I am very happy with the quality and size of my plant material especially the root systems which were more than adequate and not pot bound at all. I am switching my large leaf Hydrangea for some smaller varieties and am looking forward to replanting in the spring.
